The mother of slain teen Jordan Manners has been moved to a safe location after nearly three-dozen shots were fired outside her north-end housing complex on Thursday night.

Lorraine Small told CTV News she is concerned for her safety and thinks the incident could have been a warning over her family's public calls to end youth violence in the city.

Courtney Betty, the family's lawyer, confirmed there have been other threats made against the family, but Small is not currently under police protection.

"There were threats made at the funeral home, outside the funeral home by individuals toward Lorraine and other members of the family," Betty told CTV News.

A young man was arrested after nearly 30 shots were fired on Thursday night.

Staff Sgt. David Jenkins confirmed Jermaine Johnson was arrested, but would not say whether he was a suspect in the incident and would not reveal his age, though some media reports have said he is 23.

Police were called to Shoreham Court, near Jane Street and Driftwood Avenue, just before 10:30 p.m. Thursday.

The shots appear to have been fired in a matter of moments and to have come from three different weapons, according to reports.

Police said there were no injuries and would not confirm whether the shots were fired in tribute to the slain teen, or as an act of intended violence.

The shots came less than 10 hours after more than 800 mourners gathered to remember Jordan, 15, at his emotional funeral.

Jordan's mother, Lorraine Small, pleaded on Friday for young people to put down their guns.

"I want everyone to know this was not no salute to my son, I don't need that. I ask that there be no retaliation, let the police do their job," Small told CTV News.

The shots sent people in the area scrambling for cover, including Small's daughter who was forced to take shelter in some nearby bushes.

She repeated the family's plea for an end to the violence that claimed her son's life.

"Pick up the Bible and read it. That's the most powerful thing there is, the Bible. Pick it up and read it," Lorraine Small said.

Two 17-year-olds have been charged in Manners' death. Their identities are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
